石田が走ってる姿で次週
Finally we see Ishida running. Till next week.

So Ichigo's firing off Getsuga Tenshous again? Does that mean Zangetsu is back? If I recall, it's his attack, not Ichigo's, is it not? Also, Tsukishima's underling has a pretty ridiculous ability. "Super perfect luck" and all that.

Thank god it looks like Uryuu is about to show up. Perfect timing too, since Ichigo just lost Ginjou.

So Ichigo's firing off Getsuga Tenshous again? Does that mean Zangetsu is back?

Probably. Afterall, Tsukishima did state that he finally succeeded in melding his shinigami powers with his fullbring--which kind of implies that he got his shinigami powers back. So if he got them back and he's using GT, then I'd assume Zangetsu likely returned as well.

Beyond that, I really don't have anything meaningful to contribute this week. All my thoughts regarding the chapter could be effectively summarized with a simple "meh".

If this fight doesn't end within 2 more chapters, Kubo will have officially spent more time on it than Ichigo & Aizen's final battle. Since Ishida is now on his way, I guess this means he won't arrive until the end of next weeks chapter at the earliest. And since his arrival is hardly a guarantee of the battle coming to an immediate close, it seems like 2+ chapters is a relatively solid possibility. We should place bets on this. How many more chapters do you think this fight will go on for?

I wouldn't really be surprised if development/fight chapters are longer than the final battle. Who knows, this might just be a development fight on route to the main antagonist like Ichi vs Grimm before the war (I forget how long that was).

Their 2nd battle spanned 6 chapters. It started at the end of 230, and covered half of 231, 232, 235, a little bit of 233, and most of 236. That one was about 45 pages in length give or take (if you include Shinji and Rukia's part of the fight, otherwise it was shorter).

Their final battle was indeed the longest of the 3 having spanned 7 chapters with about 4 of those chapters being fully devoted to the fight.

In truth, this current battle against Tsukishima probably wouldn't be considered a big departure from the norm if it went on a couple more chapters. So I guess I only brought up the issue in the first place for the sake of once again highlighting how short Aizen vs Ichigo (final) was in comparison to other less significant battles.
